Auntie Meg

In 2010 Auntie Meg Whitman spent over 322,000.000.00 to win the Governor's race in California. While running for governor, Whitman emphasized three major areas: job creation, reduced state government spending, and reform of the state's K-12 educational system. She argued that it is best to start only a few things and finish them, instead of starting a lot of things and finishing few of them. In case you don't remember, Jerry Brown whipped her to a fair-thee-well.  

Smart move California!

Wicked Whitman went on to the Board of Hewlett Packard and, on the promise of revitalizing the PC division, she was appointed CEO in September of 2011.

Last week, speaking at the Global Influencer's Summit 2012 conference in Shanghai, Whitman said: " . . .    HP will increase investment in research and development, streamline corporate processes, and invest in its employees’ growth, . . . I’m so proud that ours is a company based on hardware, and HP will keep investing on hardware.”

Today, Whitman announced the potential elimination of 25,000 Hewlett Packard jobs. Due to the fact that the company’s PC sales are dropping as consumers favor tablets, such as Apple Inc.’s iPad, and it has been slow to adapt to the shift toward cloud computing, away from the IT services Hewlett-Packard provides. Hardware, I don't think so.

Her first promise in the Gubernatorial campaign was job creation, oh, really? This is the same Meg Whitman who was on Bain Capital's Founder; Mitt Romney's National Finance Team. She learned well at the feet of His Mittness.  
I repeat, "Smart move California!"
